We've already switched to toothpaste that doesn't have any flouride in it. Burt's Bee lavender & mint and the orange and then Tom's strawberry (for children) are the brand's and flavor's that we use.

The lavender & mint is not a strong minty flavor either (FYI) it's the one I prefer and my 6 YO son.

Mouth wash/rinse I just have them use sea salt water or baking soda (the kind from the health food store without alum. in it).

The closest dentist that is a holistic or biological dentist is 2 hours away from me. The next time dental checkups come up, we are scheduling all of them in the same day and driving up there, so yes, next time around, they will be treated by a dentist that doesn't use flouride and will hopefully be more supportive of my belief's.

I often wonder if it's the flouride that is causing issues with my 6 YO son with his teeth. Whole other story.

Some of the diet changes have already been made and some we are in the process of making. We've been drinking distilled water for some time, I even have the children bring their water to school from home instead of filling their bottles up at school with city water. We do have fluoride in our city water. I am saving for a distiller so it's even better water.

I am also teaching my children why I am doing what I am doing rather than just stating this is the way it will be.

The egg thing shocks me. I love eggs. My kids aren't big on them, but I am.

Thank you for giving me direct information to look into.
